It’s doing a shit job at replacing people, it’s still too prone to hallucinating for the vast majority of its applications.

In many of the applications where AI has replaced people the promised performance gains never materialized because of the insane amount of babysitting a LLM agent requires.

Doesn’t matter if it can write 10 hours of code in 5 minutes if you still need a software dev to troubleshoot the output for 25 hours.

They have like 90% reliability (figure pulled directly from my ass) but they need 99.99% reliability to actually be effectively reliable.

They’ve burned through all their hype and still haven’t made it reliable yet. I think they’re not going to get it done before the bubble collapses.

It’ll be similar to the dotcom boom, infinite hype implosion collapses the market to a few core players and then those core players will get there over the next 15 years.

Isn’t going to disappear but it’s absolutely going to fade into the background of day to day life.

Lemmy is structurally just super reddit. It just hasn’t been flooded by children yet so the discourse is still college level.

UI is too difficult for iPad babies but as the apps catch up the dumbass summer children will flood here too.

Most people who stay in academia do so because they couldn’t hack it in the real world.

That’s why they get so squirrelly when you ask about work experience, they either don’t have any or they blew it super hard and had to return to the academia bubble.

I find that people high up in academics tend to lose touch with reality.

I remember in college one professor ranting and raving about how students worry about grades too much and that we should all focus on actually retaining the material.

It’s like yeah that’s a pretty thought but 70% of the class was there on scholarship so if we don’t make the grade we don’t finish and have a mountain of debt.

On a separate occasion the dean of engineering wasted 2 full lectures of ethics class ranting about how we should give to the alumni association and how “it’s a privilege to be here so we need to pay it back.”

There were over 100 people in that room who were in at least $60k of debt to the school and we still had another semester left before graduation.

These people have brains the size of planets but couldn’t comprehend in the slightest how reality gets in the way of their pretty little egalitarian ideals.

Yeah that’s definitely the good ending. My school did so poorly they changed the grading curriculum to be 50% homework based so I was cooked on that.

I did well on the tests but they made tests 15% and quizzes 12%. I don’t remember the rest of the breakdown but it was absolute bullshit.

They did it because the year above me had a 50% non graduation rate and my year had a 53% non grad rate.

The only reason the school didn’t get shut down is because it managed 47% the year after me and apparently the deal was 3 consecutive years of over 50% failure = shutdown.

Lol I really don’t give a shit what you think.

You should really consider touching grass little bro, you obviously care about me and my opinions way too much.

Bro just learn to read it’s ok I’m not judging you

I agree 100%

I absolutely hated school until I got to college and took a C++ class. Suddenly I was having a blast because I could see purpose in what I was doing.

The reality of it is some people are good little drones who can work on pointless tasks because they were told to and people who aren’t and need to see why they’re doing what they’re doing.

Imo the gifted programs didn’t reward people because they were smart but because they were obedient.

Bro it’s called having an opinion. Go touch some fucking grass if you can’t handle someone online having an opinion based on their experiences.

No I read it, it’s a pointless uhm ackshully

Yes thank you for reiterating for me that I’m talking about American schools. Because as I stated I am talking about American schools.

In case anyone didn’t know I’m talking about American schools, as in not non-american schools.

Our whole education system needs a rework. Between the dogshit structure and the universally low pay for teaching we are going to end up far far more ignorant than we are now.

That wasn’t an insult was being factual.

You couldn’t tell that I was talking about the groups that are separated out when I explicitly say “they are separated out.”

Bro, that is cooked ass reading comprehension.

Bro your reading comprehension is cooked

If you want to ever move up in your career that’ll have to change because engineering advancement inherently means becoming management.

The unfortunate reality is that we live in a collaborative world and if you can’t collaborate then you will not go far.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the smartest person in the world if you’re also the most easily ignored.

One person can only do so much especially when they’re competing with people who aren’t alone.

From what I remember it was like 30% autistic kids, 60% helicopter parents and like 10% kids from international schools who were just light years ahead of everyone else.

I think it can be done right but not in an education system that’s so fundamentally shit to begin with.

You’d think it would be obvious that I’m talking about the programs that separate kids out by saying “they separate kids out.”

There are programs that don’t do that, cool, I’m obviously not talking about that.
